Yes, in fact she was. She lived in New England in a tribe from Massachusetts. Her father was a great and wise leader. She was a trusting and beuatiful young woman, but she was never truly appreciated for who she was. Her name was Pocahontas. I hope you will always honor her memory and be true to who you are in your life.

That is spelled Pocahontas

and here is some bio on this real person:

Pocahontas (c. 1595 – March 21, 1617) was a Native American woman who married an Englishman, John Rolfe, and became a celebrity in London toward the end of her life. She was a daughter of Wahunsunacock (also known as Powhatan), who ruled an area encompassing almost all of the neighbouring tribes in the Tidewater region of Virginia (called Tenakomakah at the time). Her formal names were Matoaka and Amonute[1]; 'Pocahontas' was a childhood nickname referring to her frolicsome nature (in the Powhatan language it meant "little wanton", according to William Strachey[2]).

Pocahontas's life has formed the basis of many legends. Because she never learned to write, everything now known about her was transmitted to later generations by others, so that the thoughts, feelings, and motives of the historical Pocahontas remain largely unknown. Her story became the source of much romantic myth-making in the centuries following her death, including the Disney movie Pocahontas and the recent Terrence Malick film The New World.

Did you mean Pocahontas? Pocahontas is a Personal Pronoun (use caps). Yes, according to history, I believe she was the daughter of a Powhatan chief who successfully petitioned before the chief and his counsel and saved Captain John Smith's life.

You can read more about her by further searching on the web if your really interested.

yes, she was a real person. But she wasn't like the Disney character at all. She was only 13 years old when Europeans came to the new world and she met John Smith

If you mean Pocahontas, yes, she was real. Not the Disney version, though.

She married John Rolfe and went with him to England. I think she died from small pox. See attached link
